Purpose of "name"-value in sabnzbd.ini

I wanted to consolidate all unused servers I've used over the years to the bottom of the "Servers"-settings-page.
Because there's no way to rename them from within SABnzbd (0.7.18), and because the program is sorting them by name, I tried to rename them directly in sabnzbd.ini.

Changing the "name"-value in the "[servers]"-category changed nothing.

Changing the string in the double-brackets, e.g. [[europe.newsdemon.com]], changed the name and order shown on the "Servers"-page, but this also removes the traffic-stats for each renamed server.

So my question is: When SABnzbd is using the name within the brackets for the Settings-page and for the traffic-stats, what's the purpose of the "name"-value?

PS: Would changing the names also change they way they're prioritized with the normal and backup-group?

The double naming comes from a time you could change the name.
You can no longer because the names are tied to the server statistics.
We may improve this in a future release, but there is already so much to be done.
